The Congregation of the Sisters of the Imitation of Christ (SIC) or Bethany Madhom is a congregation in the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church. It was founded by the Servant of God Archbishop Geevarghese Mar Ivanios on 1 May 1925, originally in the Malankara Orthodox Church. [1] The whole congregation re-united with the Catholic Church in 1930 following the reunion movement.

The Bethany Sisters are the female counterpart of the Order of the Imitation of Christ ( Bethany Ashram), which was founded by Mar Ivanios in 1919.
